I Samuela 29

1 HOAKOAKOA ae la na Pilisetia i ko lakou poe kaua a pau ma Apeka: a hoomoana ae la ka Iseraela ma ka waipuna aia ma Iezereela.

And the Philistines gather all their armies to Aphec, and Israel encamped in Aendor, which is in Jezrael.

2 A hele ae la na haku o na Pilisetia ma na haneri, a ma na tausani: aka, o Davida a me kona poe kanaka hele lakou mahope me Akisa.

And the lords of the Philistines went on by hundreds and thousands, and David and his men went on in the rear with Anchus.

3 Olelo mai la na'lii o na Pilisetia, I mea aha la keia poe Hebera? I aku la o Akisa i na'lii o na Pilisetia, Aole anei o Davida keia, ke kauwa a Saula, ke alii o ka Iseraela, ka mea i noho me au i neia mau la a i neia mau makahiki, aole i loaa ia'u ka mea i hewa ai oia mai ka wa i noho ai ia me au a hiki i keia la?

And the lords of the Philistines said, Who [are] these that pass by? And Anchus said to the captains of the Philistines, [Is] not this David the servant of Saul king of Israel? He has been with us some time, even this second year, and I have not found any fault in him from the day that he attached himself to me even until this day.

4 Huhu iho la na'lii o na Pilisetia ia ia, a i aku la na'lii o na Pilisetia ia ia, E hoihoi aku oe i keia kanaka ma kona wahi au i hoonoho ai ia ia, a, mai hele pu ia me kakou i ke kaua, o lilo ia i enemi no kakou i ke kaua ana: no ka mea, me ke aha la e hooluolu ai ia i kona haku? Aole anei me na poo o keia poe kanaka?

And the captains of the Philistines were displeased at him, and they say to him, Send the man away, and let him return to his place, where thou didst set him; and let him not come with us to the war, and let him not be a traitor in the camp: and wherewith will he be reconciled to his master? Will it not be with the heads of those men?

5 Aole anei o Davida keia a lakou i mele ai i kekahi i kekahi me ka haa ana, i ka i ana ae, He mau tausani ka Saula i pepehi, he umi tausani ka Davida?

[Is] not this David whom they celebrated in dances, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Alaila hea aku la o Akisa ia Davida, i aku la ia ia, He oiaio, ma ke ola o Iehova, he pono kou, a o kou hele ana'ku, a o kou hoi ana mai me au ma ke kaua, ua maikai no ia imua o ko'u maka: no ka mea, aole i loaa ia'u ka hewa iloko ou mai ka manawa au i hele mai ai io'u nei, a hiki i keia la: aka, aole ou pono imua o na haku.

And Anchus called David, and said to him, [As] the Lord lives, thou [art] right and approved in my eyes, and [so is] thy going out and thy coming in with me in the army, and I have not found [any] evil to charge against thee from the day that thou camest to me until this day: but thou art not approved in the eyes of the lords.

7 No ia mea, e hoi oe, a e hele me ke aloha, i ole ai oe e hewa imua o na haku o na Pilisetia.

Now then return and go in peace, thus thou shalt not do evil in the sight of the lords of the Philistines.

8 I aku la o Davida ia Akisa, Heaha ka'u i hana'i? a heaha la i loaa'i ia oe iloko o kau kauwa i ko'u manawa i noho pu ai me oe a hiki i keia la, i ole ai au e hele e kaua aku i na enemi o kuu haku o ke alii?

And David said to Anchus, What have I done to thee? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the [first] day that I was before thee even until this day, that I should not come and war against the enemies of the lord my king?

9 Olelo mai la o Akisa, i mai la ia Davida, Ua ike au, he pono kou imua o'u me he anela la o ke Akua; aka, ua i mai na haku o na Pilisetia, Aole ia e hele pu me kakou i ke kaua.

And Anchus answered David, I know that thou [art] good in my eyes, but the lords of the Philistines say, He shall not come with us to the war.

10 Ano hoi, e ala ae oe i kakahiaka nui me na kauwa a kou haku i hele pu mai me oe: a i ko oukou ala ana i kakahiaka nui, a malamalama, alaila hele aku.

Now then rise up early in the morning, thou and the servants of thy lord that are come with thee, and go to the place where I appointed you, and entertain no evil thought in thy heart, for thou [art] good in my sight: and rise early for your journey when it is light, and depart.

11 A ala ae la o Davida a me kona poe kanaka i kakahiaka nui e hele, a hoi aku i ka aina o na Pilisetia. A pii ae la na Pilisetia ma Iezereela.

So David arose early, he and his men, to depart and guard the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrael to battle.
